Virtual Tether System

Virtual Tether Specifications

Flexible. Lean. Modular.

What is Virtual Tether?
Virtual Tether System (VTS) is a solution that utilizes Ultra Wide band radio frequency technology, think radar / GPS to locate and monitor your assembly tooling, including assets and product as it flows through your facility. Easily integrated within your existing plant wide network to your tooling, assets and product. Standard with our Cleco range of products.

Qualit y Assembly.
Key features, Benefits and Values.
n Easy to install, utilize existing plant wide network, no special setup / configuration needs, low cost to implement. n Simulation tools for the design of your VTS application/s. Simplifies setup, no special engineering resources required. n Drive the system from your Cleco mPro400 Global Controller or from a PC, no special hardware required. n VTS operates on Ultra Wide Band (UWB) only, not impacted by other wireless products, reliable. n Accurate location in x, y and z coordinates. n Tag battery life of 1 year @ max blink rate, lower operational cost to maintain. n Sensors and Tags rated to IP67, can be used indoors and outdoors, no special / additional equipment required for outdoor use. n Enhance your Error Proofing requirements: - Eliminate the need for Bar Code Scanning or manual product identification by the operator, improves productivity. - Auto program selection capability with your smart tools, ensures correct operation applied per application, enhances quality and productivity. - Eliminate scrapping of parts, saves money. n Flexible virtual work foot print, adjusted accordingly per application: - Simplifies line rebalancing, move the footprint virtually and not physically, lean. - Eliminate need for hardwiring of the assembly footprint, reduces cost, lean. - Process optimization on the fly, efficient, greater productivity and quality. n Standard accessories, to add tags to your Cleco products and non Cleco products, flexible and economic.

Reader Features.
Readers connect directly to the Virtual Tether software running on the PC or Global Controller (GC). The readers gain can be controlled via the software to increase or decrease the area of coverage.

Flexible Assembly.
Complexity in assembly can be found in all industry types, whether it is a car, place, motorcycle or washing machine: The demands for greater flexibility are a constant that all manufacturers face as they strive to reduce the cost of manufacturing and deliver first pass quality. With market demands constantly changing, manufacturers look for greater levels of flexibility to enable a more rapid and efficient means of change, without incurring high costs to production and quality. VTS solutions address this need.
